Chapter 784 He was terrified that she would just turn around and leave
After Jennifer left, Alexander sat down in the chair diagonally across from Victoria.
The setting sun streamed through the window beside him, casting a glow on his pale face, but his gaze remained profound.
"Leave after the therapy."
Alexander said indifferently.
Victoria lay there, suddenly feeling a bit awkward.
Being watched in this position made her feel...
But she didn't know what to say, so she just waited for time to pass.
"Haven't you left?"
He suddenly asked.
Victoria lowered her eyes and sighed softly.
She thought he probably didn't remember asking her this before he fainted. She was hesitating whether to explain again why she came back when he suddenly said, "No matter why you came back, as long as it wasn't voluntary, I can immediately arrange a flight to send you back."
"Thank you, Mr. Harrington."
Victoria lowered her eyes and thanked him softly.
She thought it would be great if he could let her go.
Alexander stared straight at her, looking at the reddened skin on her slender waist, then turned his face to look out the window.
She still wanted to leave.
"No need to thank me. I should send you back regardless."
Alexander said indifferently.
"Mrs. Harrington, it's time."
Jennifer said at the door, not daring to come in.
"Okay."
Victoria looked at the door and responded, then tried to get up by herself.
Seeing Alexander sitting there without moving, Jennifer stepped forward, but before she could touch Victoria, Alexander suddenly grabbed Victoria's elbow and lifted her with one hand.
Victoria looked up at him, "Thank you, Mr. Harrington."
Jennifer turned off the switch, packed up the equipment, and quietly left.
After all, the word "thank you" sounded a bit strange between a married couple.
Especially between the two of them, it was silent, like a war without smoke.
Victoria got off the bed and looked down to see that Alexander wasn't wearing shoes.
She instinctively looked up at him and asked, "Where are your shoes?"
"I don't know."
He still spoke in an indifferent tone, as if he had just realized he wasn't wearing shoes.
"You sit here, I'll go find you a pair."
"Where are you going to find them?"
"Where did you come from?"
After speaking, they looked at each other.
"You'd better stop worrying about me."
Alexander reminded her softly, then quickly lowered his head and let go of her once she was steady.
"Then I won't meddle anymore. Goodbye."
Victoria nodded and was about to leave.
Alexander looked at her frail figure. Was she going to leave just like that?
He was still standing there barefoot, and she didn't care.
"Dad, why are you here?"
"What else could it be? Alexander heard you were downstairs and rushed down. He was usually a neat freak, but he didn't even put on shoes this time. He didn't lose his temper, did he?"
Maximus smiled and said to Victoria.
Victoria smiled awkwardly but politely, and said softly, "No, he didn't."
"Then give him these shoes. I won't go over. It's getting late, and we can't spend New Year's Eve in the hospital. My parents have called several times to urge us. If we're done here, we should head back soon."
"Okay."
Victoria agreed.
"I'll leave a car for you two. Later, you can decide who feels better and can drive."
Maximus handed her the shoes and the car keys.
"Okay."
"I'll take Arabella back first."
"Okay."
Victoria still answered softly. After Maximus left, she turned to look at Alexander, who was already sitting in the chair, wiping his feet with a pack of wet wipes he had found somewhere.
Victoria sighed lightly, then turned back and placed the shoes beside his chair.
Alexander asked, "Where are my socks?"
Victoria was stunned, but then she suddenly remembered that when he fainted, she hurriedly found a pair of shoes for him and forgot to bring socks.
Alexander didn't like wearing shoes without socks.
Victoria couldn't help but glance at him cautiously, afraid he would get angry.
But Alexander just said indifferently, "Forget it. You probably did your best by bringing me shoes."
Victoria didn't say anything, just placed the car keys on the table beside her.
Alexander didn't even glance at them. He threw the used wipes into the trash can under the table, then said while putting on his shoes, "I'm dizzy. I can't drive."
Victoria thought for a moment and said, "Since you want to send me back to Elysium Country, I'll call a driver for you."
She picked up her coat and found her phone, but before she could dial, there was nothing in her hand.
"Who just agreed that she would send me back?"
He held her phone, looking very angry.
"If I remember correctly, I didn't explicitly agree."
"Really? Should I call him and ask what exactly you said?"
Alexander said as he searched for Maximus's number in her contacts. This time, Victoria panicked and quickly stepped forward, "Don't, at least don't use my phone."
"Where's my phone?"
Alexander immediately asked her patiently.
Victoria looked at his empty palm and suddenly froze.
He had fainted, and Edward had said those things. She thought he was going to die and didn't have time to find his phone.
"Where's my phone?"
Alexander looked at her anxious and helpless expression, but he was particularly patient as if he had to get an exact location from her.
"I didn't touch it. It should be at home."
"Words alone are no proof."
"What?"
Victoria looked at him in confusion.
Alexander slowly handed her phone back to her.
Victoria glanced at it and naturally took it, still looking at him in confusion.
Alexander said again, "You have to come back to Serenade Villa with me."
"Why?"
"I need to make sure my phone is still there. You know how many important emails and calls I have on it. If... it was stolen, you know how serious that would be."
"Alexander, are you saying I stole your phone?"
"I didn't say that. I just think you would at least know its last location."
Alexander explained steadily.
Victoria listened, but she was angry inside.
He meant what she said.
"Sorry, your house has surveillance. Check it yourself. I don't have time to deal with you."
She turned and left, not showing him any more smiles.
She regretted it deeply.
What kind of person had she saved?
"Victoria, I'm not joking with you."
"Do I look like I'm joking?"
She walked to the door, turned to look at him, and then continued to walk out.
When Alexander couldn't see her, he felt a void in his heart and immediately chased after her, "Victoria."
She didn't stop, so Alexander quickly caught up.
He was terrified that she would just turn and leave, and then...
Victoria soon heard footsteps, heavier than usual but still quick.
She walked faster, not wanting to be caught by him and be entangled with him anymore. But just as she was trying to walk faster, her arm was grabbed, and before she could see anything, she heard, "Victoria."
